Cochlear Baha 5 SuperPower Mode D'emploi page 12

• Battery life means the time a device will run
before the rechargeable batteries must be
recharged.
• Battery charge cycle is a full charge and
discharge of the rechargeable battery.
• Battery lifespan means the total number of
charge cycles a rechargeable battery will last
before the battery life degrades to 80% of its
original fullycharged capacity.
• Use only Baha 5 SuperPower Actuator units. Do
not connect the sound processor to any other
type of stimulating equipment such as Cochlear
Implant coils.
Theft and metal detection systems and
Radio Frequency ID (RFID) systems:
Devices such as airport metal detectors,
commercial theft detection systems, and RFID
scanners may produce strong electromagnetic
fields. Some Baha users may experience a
distorted sound sensation when passing through
or near one of these devices. If this occurs, you
should turn off the sound processor when in the
vicinity of one of these devices. The materials
used in the sound processor may activate metal
detection systems. For this reason, you should
carry the Security Control MRI Information Card
with you at all times.
Electrostatic discharge
A discharge of static electricity can damage the
electrical components of the sound processor
or corrupt the program in the sound processor.
If static electricity is present (e.g. when putting
on or removing clothes over the head or getting
out of a vehicle), you should touch something
conductive (e.g. a metal door handle) before your
sound processor contacts any object or person.
Prior to engaging in activities that create extreme
electrostatic discharge, such as playing on plastic
slides, the sound processor should be removed.
